I knew you were going to get one. I can't wait to hear the range report. That one is on my short list. I love the 709 and the 740 would round out the slim collection.
JohnP82 and myself will be at IW on Sunday if you want to join in on the breaking in fun!
Very nice shooter. Put several mags through her myself and was impressed with this handgun! What a great day at the range!Range Report: Love it. Shot a bit low and to the left out of the box but with a slight adjustment of the sights you will be where you want to be. Recoil is “snappy” , but very manageable. I would say it compares to all my other .40cals I have. I shot 250rds to break her in. Mostly WWB and Federal ammo. Out of the 250rds shot today I had no FTF or FTE! The trigger to me was alittle mushy but Im so use to a Glock trigger. All in all I'm happy with my purchase and would suggest this firearm to my friends and family!
My wife and I purchased a 709s awhile ago and recently sold it. We had the following problems with the gun.
1) The magazine release button became very light (read: the magazine released during firing) after about 300 rounds of firing. This was the last straw for us as the gun would go out of battery after almost every shot.
2) Ours was VERY picky with ammo
3) We experienced jams atleast 1 per two full mags
I honestly could not trust the firearm any more and we sold it.
